Abstract
Moderate alcohol consumption decreases the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Epidemiological studies indicate that consumption of alcohol at the level 20-30 g per day can reduce risk of CHD by at least 20-25%. The mechanism of this protection has been associated with an increase in the level of HDL-cholesterol. Second of the proposed mechanisms of the protective effect of moderate alcohol intake is its beneficial effect on homeostasis.
